Ramen Our Way

I present to you the staple of college students and frugal folks everywhere... Ramen Noodles.

We have been trying to find ways to make Ramen a bit tastier and add some more veggies into the mix, so this is what our Ramen noodles look like when we make them:

What you see there is a bowl of Beef Ramen topped with a diced tomato, a diced green onion, a handful of cilantro and a sprinkling of colby-jack cheese. I usually share a bowl with Anna, and it fills us both up and tastes delicious.

I use them to top Salads with. :DTake a package and break it into small bits (usually there are a few little bits in each package anyway,that is the size you want them)Sprinkle some over your salad and put the rest in a little storage container for next time.

I just had some last night after a long day of non-stop rain. It hailed also.Boil water and add package seasoning (be careful, there is MSG - to avoid, just add some soy sauce and a wee bit of sesame oil). I throw in some sliced carrots, some sliced onion and sliced cabbage. I let it all go to a rolling boil and drop an egg in the center. Once the egg is poached, I serve it up in a bowl. I use a spoon in the left hand, to slurp up the broth and chopsticks in the right hand to munch on the noodles, egg and veggies. Yummy for my tummy!Tootles!
